(EP-100.2) Eye #1
100 – Piercing Eye #1
I told the three Ladies the information I had gathered today.
That the Demon King’s son was alive.
And also his sudden disappearance.
After listening to this, Elga was frowning in disbelief.
“Are you saying that my father was trying to crown an unknown man as king? How ridiculous! What’s the validity of this information? That Bellhawk could be lying!!”
“There is a chance, but it is unlikely.”
I then turned my gaze to Aira.
During the report, she was just twirling her finger on the rim of the teacup.
I have no idea what she could possibly be thinking…
“So-.”
Aira said in a low voice.
“You don’t know where he is right now?”
“Yes, they couldn’t find him even when they looked for him. There’s a good chance that he’s died. And with that, the Angmar Family’s lineage would have also ended there.”
I wanted to close the case about the Demon King. This was why I suggested the death of Isaiah Angmar, as the blood of the Demon King would’ve ended with him-.
However, Aira shook her head.
“The Angmar Family was famous for their looks. So there is a possibility that he met some woman and had a son somewhere. This is my wise judgement.”
“A son…?”
“Considering that Isaiah was around the same age as our father, his son should be about our age.”
Then, unlike usual, Aira actually continued to elaborate.
“He should be about 20 years old, and talented in Magic as an Angmar. So a Mage that has problems with women. If that man named Isaiah really had a son, the situation should be like this.”
A Mage in his 20’s dealing with women…
… Wasn’t that just me?
Aira’s reasoning was pointing exactly at me. There was no denying that her wit was as bright as the sun, on top of her monstrous talent.
Aira’s deduction then continued.
“And you said that he was last seen in Ark, before disappearing. Meaning, if he had any descendant, it’s very likely that they’ll be close to Ark. After all, this is where the Demon King Angmar’s treasure is. He must be nearby.”
Aira’s story was suffocating me more and more.
Her deduction was sharp, like very sharp… To the point that I wondered if she had the answer sheet in front of her and was just reading the info one by one to constrict me… It felt like I was getting stabbed by a dagger with every word she said…
“Hey, Theo. What’s wrong?”
It was then that Elga pointed out something.
“You don’t look so good?”
What was wrong with my face?
I was so focused on my thoughts that I couldn’t maintain my composure. It was only when Elga pointed this out that I realized it. Fortunately, I still had my Level 9 Actor to help bounce back a little.
“Well, I just think that if there really is a descendant like what Aira-nim said, it will cause a stir in the kingdom.”
Elga also nodded in understanding.
“It won’t just cause a stir. It’ll create a big mess. Anyway, it’ll be a headache if there is an heir roaming around. Speaking of, what do you think he looks like? Is he tall, has red hair and horns?”
Because he was a descendant of the Demon King – Elga said with a smile.
Angmars were born with red hair and a tall stature. That was probably why she came to that conclusion.
I basically survived by being a Half-Nymph.
Aira’s deduction was pointing to me in every shape and form possible, but no one in this room noticed that I was the one they were looking for because of this.
Then I calmly bowed my head.
“Then, we will investigate the surrounding area based on the Queen’s information.”
“Yes, you go do that. And Theo.”
I slightly raised my head at her call.
“Does Aira-nim have more information?”
“I’ll be meeting with Saintess Priga soon. I just want to make sure you know that.”
A meeting between Saintess Priga and Queen Aira…
Two big-bad villainesses would be meeting now, when they’d never intertwined with each other in the original story? I had no idea what this would mean or what it would lead to.
“Will I be attending as well?”
“Of course~.”
‘That’s good…’
After all, I also had some business with the Saintess.
